Uhh, how do you intend to mix the funyuns in? Grinding them up, or uh...Okay I'm gonna be real I don't eat meatloaf so in my mind I have this image of a chunk of meat looking like bread but I know that's wrong, so I don't know what else to ask about this.
Is onion meatloaf a dish? That seems like that might be more appealing if you like the two.
It's just ground beef so ground up funyuns into a dust would mix fine and probably not even noticeable after cooking. I bet it would work but also not really for much outside add a large amount of sodium. I normally use onion powder in mine so I really can't see there being a huge difference.
I have a feeling you'd have to use a lot of funyuns to even be able to taste the flavor in the meat loaf. This does make me wonder how some other things would be using funyuns instead of breadcrumbs. Topping on a baked mac and cheese, for example.
Now that would be way more interesting! The Mac n cheese one sounds good actually.
Right! I'm gonna have to remember to try it next time I make mac and cheese. Or maybe even crunch some up over a salad.
Awesome. You're damn right.
You've also thinking hot fries.
This is why I love these kinds of discussion communities.
Oh, I would much prefer hot fries than flamin hot cheetos that's on everything now.
Yeah. Flaming Cheetos are not hot fries.
Ok, so basic meatloaf: onions, peppers, garlic sautéed and cooled add to ground beef can be "stretched" (feeding a lot for as little as possible) with eggs & breadcrumbs season with salt, pepper, ketchup place in a loaf pan (best with some parchment/baking paper lining can be topped or wrapped with bacon & more ketchup for a glaze bake, cool/let set, slice, serve with mashed taters, gravy, peas & carrots and you have a very typical dinner circa 1950.
Now funyuns? I'd probably just grind them up and add to the meat to mix, with some mixed in with the ketchup glaze. alternatively I would have 1 or 2 rings on top as a garnish.
I am not high either
Meat loaf is basically a combination of ground meat, eggs, and bread crumbs mixed together and formed in to a loaf. Onions are a common addition.
I would imagine you would smash the funions and replace the bread crumbs. It would probably be okay.
Most meatloaf (at least the one's I've made) has onions and breadcrumbs in it, using the funyuns might cover both ingredients. Though I think the funyun flavor would be more like adding onion powder and not actually onions. And the breadcrumbs are meant to help hold the meat together, I'm not sure the funyun dust would do the same.
I feel like it would do a decent job of helping hold together, but I'm betting the flavor wouldn't be that noticeable in the end product unless you used a lot of funyuns.
